The South Africa HIV Addiction Technology Transfer Centre: Journey, Impact and Lessons

The South Africa HIV Addiction Technology Transfer Centre (ATTC) is funded by the United States President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAHMSA), and forms part of the group of international ATTC’s, an extension of the US-based domestic ATTC network.  The international ATTC network seeks to support the HIV response by addressing the behavioural drivers of HIV risk, disease outcomes and adherence behaviours.  This webinar outlines the journey of setting up the South Africa HIV ATTC at its inception in 2017, details the impact and successes, and explores lessons learned in 3 years of funding.  We close by looking at what comes next for this ATTC and plans to ensure the sustainability of its products and TA.
